Can finance gear repairs, best available gem and enchantments, and other raid costs.

Willing to change character's talent points for the guild whenever needed.

Yes

  • None

Why do you want to join Lemmings?:

I want to be in a stable, well progressed guild in which all content is clearled, in a timely fashion, which is exactly what Lemmings offers, and a seemingly nice group of people too!

Why are you leaving your current guild or server?:

The guild as a whole was not satisfying my urge to progress in the game, and was/still is slowly falling apart, trying to maintain a 3 night a week raiding schedule, we only raided 2 nights a week if we were lucky, most weeks just one pretty much.

What is your greatest PvE or PvP moment?:

Probably killing Ragnoras at level 60, I've honestly never been in a guild that's been able to kill the last boss of an instance so......that's about the only one

Explain any circumstances (school/work/etc) that may overlap raid times:

I'm currently a freshman at a community college going to class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I doubt there will be any times at all where I am forced to miss a raid.

If you have URLs to WWS parses, please paste them here:

Our guild runs these logs, but I'm always tanking so I'm not sure the level of importance for them, for my specific role as a tank, that is.

I guess now that your buddy withdrew his application, you are going to do the same?

I'd probably have this as my spec if I were an OT http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#0ZxGGscrzceRcczVkbAczb:0zn
And I guess I think of a panda when I see that image, although I know I'm completely off, I really have no idea..
The price of the diamonds are about 85 gold per

What then would be your spec of choice if you were an OT?

As for threat issues, our DPSers are threat whores and so....you probably will have threat issues from time to time. You might want to look into speccing for optimal threat.

Still waiting for the answer to the image and pristine black diamonds.

In response to Subzero:

Master shapeshifter is pretty pointless if your only tanking, and I never have threat issues so i put the 5 points in feral aggression, which would lessen the damage I take from the boss overall

and in response to Druan, I've never really looked into the usefulness of having a different amount of points in improved mangle, or ever heard the benefits of having 0, 1, or 3 points being put into it. If you think I should change it, please, tell me.

Please provide details on your decision to spec 2/3 improved mangle. I can fathom a use for 0, 1 or 3 points but not 2.

Additionally, please look at the following image and tell me what animal you think it is based on without cheating on google.

In answer to your questions:

1. I'm using this spec because it fits the role of a main tank more than an off tank, I rarely find myself dpsing in tank gear on fights, for example putricide, this spec would probably be horrible (assuming you use a 3 tank rotation, 1 tanking boss, 1 doing abom and 1 tank smacking the boss up). If I were to take the role of an off tank, I would def switch my spec around to fit some more kitty talents and such.
2. This is something I can admit to not doing, the only glyph I would switch in and out for boss fights would be Glyph of Growl (a boss fight where taunting off the other tank is very important to his survival, and the raids, for example: Northrend Beasts would be the best example for this, since one too many stacks would most likely leave the other tank dead. (I'm just thinking now, glyph of berserk would be nice for a druid that is tanking Anub in ToGC, 10 or 25 really, since phase 3 is a burn phase I would def say glyph would be superior to Glyph of Maul, which is practically useless.
3. My TPS I would say is almost always around 7000-8000, there probably spikes in this, but for a constant number, thats what I'd have to say, and I have never had threat problems, even with the spec I'm using now.
4. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/238/wowscrnshot020810145835.jpg
5. The only real macros I use for tanking are ones which bind Maul to my Lacerate, Swipe, and Mangle....Ah and one last one, Since the trinket I'm using stacks with my Survival Instincts I've made a macro which uses both, works very nicely, as I can never seen a time where you would want to use them separately.
6. My DPS set has a GS of 5329, not too hot, but I know the feral rotation inside and out, my dps might be a little lacking, I've been working with a new addon though, which keeps track of 3 or 4 debuffs.

I'm at work, so quick response for now.

5/5 Feral Aggression vs Master shape shifter, what is your justification?
In your opinion, how good (or not good) is tier 10 2pc and 4pc?

Do you ever eat and play, or would you use eating as excuse for not taunting?!!!

I play a druid tank as one of my alts so I know a wee bit about druid tanking.

Why are you using this spec? Do you feel that its superior to others? If so, what is your basic rotation and opening sequence (both are usually different)

Also, do you carry around extra glyphs? If so, what glyphs do you carry around and which do you replace for certain fights?

What sort of TPS do you usually generate?

Can you post a screenshot of your UI please?

What sort of macros do you utilize as a tank?

How does your feral DPS gear look like since that is your secondary spec?

*Optional* What is the price of Pristine Black Diamonds on your server?

I probably have more questions but these are the ones off the top of my head.
